Hey gang, Blame Ohio here.
Look, the other night I was mad. I was beyond mad. And if someone did something this ugly to us, whomever they may be, they deserve the harshest penalty that can be given.
As ChrisL spoke about funds and checks and claims, I thought of shareholders like badabing.........who died not too long ago, and shareholders like bingo, who is very ill and has put everything he has into this stock, or shoelessjoejackson, who is also ill, and salty dog's dad who was dying and was reassured that all is well. All of those things ran through my mind. All of those emotions were churning. I thought of all the disappointments, the set backs, the times that I myself sat here with tears in my eyes through yet again one more let down, one more missed date, one more month, year gone by. I thought of all of the times that I was told to be positive, to hold on, to be strong, to stay united............I heard the buzz of all of this in my ears. My face was hot, my mind was racing and I was so mad I didn't really know what to do.
I would never harm anyone. It's not a part of who I am. I don't hold a grudge and I don't stay mad. I'm not a basher. I'm not a "negative nelly." I'm simply a human being who has watched many suffer. I have heard many people say because of this stock indirectly, they were divorced, they are bankrupt and I even know one shareholder who ended up homeless over this investment.
I realize that people shouldn't OVER invest, but this isn't any ordinary stock or situation. People were told things and shown things and there were bill boards, and radio shows and geologists' findings and samples and claims and aerial pictures and magnetic studies.............there was enough to convince people from all walks of life to take the chance and get in on the stock trade of a lifetime. Doctors, Lawyers, Teachers, Businessmen, everyone!!! Our shareholders come from all over the world.
And all in one instant.........hearing all these things from Texas and the seemingly endless list of checks...........and evidence ......it was so overwhelming, so deafening, so.....disturbing and sickening to think that this might be what happened...........I exploded. I haven't been that mad in a very long time.
So I apologize if someone thinks that I would be capable of hurting someone because I wouldn't and I couldn't anyhow. It's not who I am. I care about people and this is why I reacted the way I did.
The money would make my life better, but I know there are people out there that are waiting on the money to make a life for them.....period.
And then there is the dizzying amount of information that comes in the form of speculation and assumption, rumor and rhetoric, links and even lies and sometimes a speck of truth and fact falls in there. It's overwhelming trying to detect what is and what isn't real. And then when you see dates given, and statements made and none of it happens........you start to stumble. Then along comes people who say they have evidence, who say we have nothing, who say we are left with a few hundred dollar bills and no claims. It's a wonder more people do not melt down. And the only thing we have to negate is information about maybe we're waiting on the federal reserve, and maybe we're waiting on what the four winds people are talking about, and maybe its because of the grandfather clause and maybe its because of some people who didn't want to deal or sign, or maybe its because...........and the list goes on. The company isn't speaking except to accuse others, urban isn't speaking at all and the gurus and those in the know, haven't really been all that accurate.
I'm frustrated. I'm tired of waiting. I'm tired of watching people go through all of these things that would be eased greatly if not solved by getting paid. Paid what they deserve. Paid what they were led to expect. Paid for the time and the energy they've invested, not to mention the money.
So I hope that you all understand now what was running through my head that night and why I reacted the way I did. I was mad. I was fighting mad. And all I had was a keyboard and a microphone.
I apologize if I hurt anyones feelings but I hold to what I started this post out saying, whomever wronged this great, giant group of shareholders, they deserve the harshest punishment that can be imposed.
Let's hope this ends soon while we're all still sane!!!!
I still admit I have no idea what is going on here. But I hope we find out soon!
